Chapter 35

They Did What?

“Row-AWRR!” The unmistakable battle cry of a large cat roared, their voice echoed the microphone that just so happened to pick up their sound and blast it across the arena.

“Uh-oh, did you hear that?” Sal the announcer cuts in.

Flash-darkness.

There is an unmistakable sound of power being cut off, then a crisp flicker of electricity that desperately tries to cling to life in all the luminescent light bulbs aroun...

Fist Punches Metal

You ever have one of those moments, when you realize that the world is trying to force you to change your ways?

Well, I could almost feel the world turning against me, especially once the rules for the first regional match.

Welcome to Regionals for the Mechanical War competition!

Rules are simple.

You enter the ring where your opponent stands, you fight until one of you can no longer compete.

Rule Three of Pit Club

“Wait me?” I ask, pointing to myself. My mind trying to understand if kicking a deserving contestant was really worth being kicked out of this arena death match for. Only realizing after I spoke that I had broken the number one rule of my position here, that of be seen but don’t speak.

“No, the putz who dared continue to attack an opponent who already submitted and then tried to attack our healer while they were actively healing a co...

War Skills

You ever enter a place, and realize that suddenly the stakes are real. As if everything you have done to this point was the equivalent of just practice, just auditioning for this one chance to shine?

That is how I feel at this moment.

Walking down the long descending ramp that leads to the arena I see a crowd of people. So many people that they are just specks of dirt and noise in the background. Fortunately for me Lucia and Luna are there to grab...

The Three Rules of Pit Club

I was huddled in my corner, just watching the events unfold. With so many new people all around, one couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated by how there were so many people that suddenly came from out of the wood works.

“Can’t believe they let us use the real arena this time,” the giant Mountain of a man from last night called out, apparently he was Mousey’s uncle?

“Yeah, you know why though, right?” Speedy Slov...

This is how my afternoon went. Amazing what happens when your normally vibrant and energetic teacher suddenly calls out sick on a Friday. Hard to believe that missing just one tea...

Turning Being Awkard Into An Artform

Schools of any age and lifetime apparently suck.

The sad part is that I find myself needing these classes. While it would seem that I would have an easier leg up on most of my contemporaries, I do. But as time goes on that margin of superiority has decreased.

Why? Well simply put there are hundreds and thousands of minor technical nuances that make it so you have to pay attention to the minor details. Take for instance, G...

No One Knows, Right?

I don’t quite know what I expected to happen the next day at school.

Would everyone suddenly know of my identity? Would it somehow be obvious that I was involved in healing contestants for an underground fighting arena?

Would I suddenly stop getting harassed by Mr. Wallace and his stupid dog Narco? Well, of the two Narco did stop harassing me. Though he seemed to be sedated by me yesterday as well, I wonder if my recent class acquisiti...

By Other Means

(A Few Hours Ago)

(Leah “the Destroyer” Badiaz)

Everyone was gathered around and talking about their upcoming matches. Despite it being nearly two years since her last professional bout, long enough for her to gain an Apprentice and teach her until she was ready to strike out on her own.

While Leah had long ago hung up her gloves and trunks she did intend to eventually make a comeback for her Apprentice, a fact that seemed like tod...

Chapter 28

The Fix is In

From the betting odds being offered, to the distinct size and skill matchups it was clear that Leah the Destroyer was not only the known quantity, but a proven commodity.

While Mr. Yi just looked on with the practiced gaze of a seasoned warrior trying to learn new Skills or combinations, Markan by contrast seemed to be cheering excitedly.

“YES! Leah! Leah!” Markan called out, his first time showing true favoritism since we arrived. His chee...

Nectar Of the Gods

Finally, after spending a long time of staring into the deep green eyes of the roguishly handsome guy do I realize that I am being inappropriate.

Yes, only now that the chaos of the moment is over, do I realize that I am now straddling an unknown male and forcing him to stare at me, in what might otherwise be considered an intimate gesture.

Ick.

Realizing that my job is done, that the hideous wound that was bleeding and spra...

<WARNING! This Scene has traumatic events that might cause issue with some readers. Discretion is advised. -During the second fight scene.>

“Ready go!” The referee shouted.

Ding-ding.

Simultaneously someone next to the ring rang a giant bell, signifying to the people in the back that the fight had started.

What happened next took a fight that should have been at most a long drawn-out performance demons...

Bear With Me

When your boss tells you "Bear With Me."

Then you have the idea, hey, if 67 can be a trend why not create a song about acting like a BEAR whenever anyone says "Bear With Me"

So I of course came up with this song. Thought you might enjoy.

Lyrics:

Watch out Now. I'm gonna tell you about a special dance that makes it so you can grin and bear with anything.

We call it the bear dance.

To begin you must first become the bear.

Start with a few quick ex...

Chapter 25

The Pit

As it turns out, The Pit is where all of the scum and villainy of the city mingle. I see prominent members of the DiVoratore family present. Mother and Mithanial are both here, clearly representing the DiVoratore family, along with other members that all look familiar.

Worse, they seem to be flaunting their Necromantic powers as quite a few bound spiritual assistants are around them. It is easy to tell which of the spirits are older or have been employed a...

Fingers Form Fists

I am holding up my hand, ready to save Terra-Ulacrum as I feel I finally have a good enough grasp of what is needed to reach the void realm. To reach her, that I am about ready to cast my spell.

A spell that I absolutely need to cast, knowing that it will be the last step I need to achieve my Demi-God potential.

Shiver.

This is a monumental moment, and one that I can’t quite help but think it is all happening too quickly....

Two Birds One Fist

As it turns out, the speed at which Madame Bloom moves is close to the speed of light. As she has already reached out to get my instructors.

The reason why Madame Voyou stopped me, and part of why she seemed so frustrated with me, was that she was hired to be my direct mentor for Music Resonance. Meaning she apparently achieved her goal of taking on a capable apprentice, while realizing I would never be someone who could take on her cla...

A Skald-ing Reception

By the time I got to Music class it wasn’t late, but rather than seeming excited as she normally did, Madame Voyou seemed downright hostile.

I could tell as the tissue around her pristine left eye were tense as if trying to angrily stare through me. I even saw the moment a trail of blue energy fused into her eye, causing her eye to turn a light blue.

Shiver.

At the same time, I felt my body’s natural response to such ...

Chapter 22

So, I’m a Bully

After class today, I would have to classify Mr. Zion as sycophancy at its finest.

What I mean by that, is that the note he received during homeroom did indeed speak of my being chosen by Madame Bloom to be her Apprentice. A fact that I managed to prove when I made a particularly wide arc around the class, moving by his desk close enough to read his note without being too obvious about the fact.

At that moment, I was awarded with a system me...

Changes In Perceptions

Strength, it can’t be given.

Rather strength is earned, forged under pressure and perseverance. People always ask for strength, when really they should be asking for a world where strength is not needed.

Unfortunately, this world, this new world with magic and political machinations around every corner does require strength on many different levels. For some people strength is being able to stand up to bullies. For me, my stre...

A Classy Lassie

(The Next Day)

I was still trying to understand what exactly happened yesterday.

Going from a standard day where you get in a fight with a thug in school. To cleaning up trash at your favorite restaurant, to nearly dying in the woods while trying to gather a branch you can imbue with Mana and use to attack evil spirits, to of course nearly being flayed to death by a spell that should be instant death.

Well not instant but taking a full ...

Option Three

“Option three?” Madame Bloom asks.

“Yes, Option three. You take me on as your Apprentice. I begin learning your class, transferring my two current Life affinity Skills to this class that will improve the synergy. I even begin learning the two specialized Mana Skills you are required to teach me, which will all synergize into this new class. I can learn any Skills I want in my Free Skill slots, so long as they are not affiliated with Life magic.�...

“First, let’s put your new Skill Rejuvenating Healing to work, before you bleed out everywhere,” Madame Bloom pauses her explanation.

I pause, staring at her, I just stare, knowing that most of my injuries have been healed and I just need to clean up a few recently scraped spots on my legs.

“Oh, I got rid of the scabs, for if you heal over the scabs, you are more likely to get scar tissue. Instead, you just have fresh unpigmen...

A Foolish Little Girl Searching For Sticks

Pain.

My mind awoke to the experience of pain. Worse, I could feel my Mana Extraction Skill fully engaged. As a paralytic type magic was being introduced into my body. Magic that almost certainly had to be related to both the outside pain, and the fact that I couldn’t move.

At that moment I felt truly helpless. I could almost imagine my predicament now. My mind was awaking, as more and more of my...

Good morning everyone,

First, I want to thank you all for staying with me for yet another month. Once again, we are within the WRITATHON, during which time I will showcase the new series Trash as my submission.

When You Realize Your Mistake Too Late

“Wait, mother no!” Were the last words I cried out, before I saw literal death coming for me.

In that instant, time seemed to slow down to a crawl, as my mind took in everything. The left-handed use of casting a Necrotic Fireball. The way frame of the person I had mentally called to as mother was slightly skinnier, a fact that was only noticed now. The way they wore a mask as if to hide their features, even thoug...

Twenty-Nine (Part II)

“CA-CAW!”

The cry of a mighty war bird spreading its magical releasing wings wide open, before it begins to charge forward.

As it moves, sparkling flakes, that remind me of bad noticeable dandruff fall out. Generally a sign of poor skin care, or lack of exfoliation, but this appears different, as I can see magical resonance within the falling flakes.

Blink.

I focus away from the obvious distraction and ...

Unrequited Love

Pfft-pfft-pfft.

Just when I am wondering if the monsters have managed to respawn, I am given a preemptive warning that at least one pine spitting spirit has managed to reform. The fact that they are targeting me from so far away speaks of either desperation, or worse, the idea that they remember me.

Of course, the idea that this annoying pine spitter could remember me goes against all knowledge of this world. The facts are that once ...

Space the final frontier, some people merely occupy it, while two curious pixies explore it.

“Are you monologuing in your mind again?” Ship-Ulacrum calls out mentally, all but ruining Pirate-Ulacrum’s mojo as she explores the world around her.

“Shh, hush you, I’m out here exploring,” Pirate-Ulacrum hisses back to her pilot and ultimate safety net. Truth be tol...

A Meal, A Deal, and A Seal

Once classes were over, I went back to see my favorite pastry chef. True to form Ronaldo was right there, ready to talk terms and conditions.

This was simple economics, he had a problem that I provided a unique, unintrusive response to, and only wanted minimal compensation. While there were many other struggling magic users who offered similar effects, none were ever as clean as mine.

Yes, Fire mages are typically the ones most not...

A System Wide Conspiracy

“Sweep the leg Jhonny! Sweep the leg!” I scream, my voice amplified by the various tubes and transistors within Raygunnr that help amplify and project my voice across the Regional qualifying match.

I can’t even see Jhonny, as I am still in update purgatory, trying to select and make updates. The only reason I even shouted at all was Raygunnr’s subtle prodding a moment ago of, “aren’t you going to encourage Jhonny Innerflame fo...
